Idyll RunScripts plugin

The purpose of this plugin is to enable you to embed scripts in your Idyll markup that run at compile time.

For example, this Idyll markup runs R code to generate an inline chart in the idyll output:

```


Introduction

`exec:rstats
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(airquality, aes(Temp, Ozone)) +
geom_point() +
geom_smooth(method = "loess", se = FALSE)
`

``

!output

At this point in time consider this plugin experimental. It is very rudimentary and is primarily meant to serve
as a proof of concept to see if people are interested in this functionality. If they are we can expand on it.

Installation

`
$ npm install --save-dev idyll-plugin-runscripts
`

Add it to your idyll configuration in package.json:

`json
"idyll": {
"compiler": {
"postProcessors": ["idyll-plugin-runscripts"]
}
}
`

Supported languages

At the moment we only support R, but others could be added in the future.

The R support assumes that you will be creating some sort of graphical output using the
default built-in graphics device.

In order for this to work, you need to make sure the Rscript` binary is available on your system
and that you are creating one plot per code cell, not using any custom filenames.
